Jishnu S Project Engineer Education & Training Division, EMC [email protected] Design: Godfrey’s Graphics INTRODUCTION ergy is one of the most critical components of infrastructure, En crucial for the economic growth and welfare of nations. The existence and development of adequate infrastructure is essential for sustained growth of an economy. India’s power sector is one of the most diversified in the world. The sources of power generation range from conventional sources such as coal, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to viable non- conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural and domestic waste. Electricity demand in the country has increased rapidly and is expected to rise further in the years to come. In order to meet the increasing demand for electricity in the country, massive addition to the installed generating capacity is required. The total installed capacity of power stations in India stood at 334,146.91 Megawatt (MW) as of February 28, 2018. Total 3 generation capacity / availability of power for Kerala is 3140 MW. Out of total 2760 MW, 69 % is from Hydro, 18 % is from Thermal, and balance 13 % is from Renewable Energy Sources (Solar & Wind). Energy conservation refers to the reducing of energy consumption through energy efficient technologies and behavioral practices without reducing the required output and comfort. Energy conservation can result in increased environmental quality by reduced carbon foot prints; improve national energy security, personal financial security and higher savings. It is at the top of the sustainable energy hierarchy. It also lowers energy costs by preventing future resource depletion and reserve for our future generations. Energy efficiency aims to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, installing LED lights or natural skylights at your home reduces the amount of energy required to attain the same level of illumination compared with using traditional incandescent, discharge & CFL light bulbs. Improvements in energy efficiency are generally achieved by adopting a more efficient technology or production process or by application of commonly accepted methods to reduce energy losses. Reducing energy use is also seen as a solution to the problem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 4 SMART ENERGY PROGRAM (2019-2020) EMC is a state designated agency for implementing the provisions of EC Act 2001. EMC since its inception has been actively involved in organizing different types of awareness programs on energy conservation for the students of educational institutions. The school 5 energy conservation club of EMC aims at awareness creation among students on energy conservation and environment friendly energy technologies as this would help in inculcating a habit in the younger generation on the judicious use of the scarce and depleting energy resources. Smart Energy Program (SEP) is one of the flagship projects of EMC, which was formed to spark off an initiative for curbing energy wastage through active measures and also popularizing the importance of energy conservation and energy efficiency measures among students. In SEP 2019- 20, we plan to include and promote Energy conservation & Renewable Energy integration in schools. SEP 2019-20 will be a joint program of EMC and ANERT. School level All schools in each education district (ED) shall enroll in SEP. Schools including UP, High school (Government, Aided, Unaided, CBSE and ICSE) may be enrolled. Each school should enroll a minimum number of fifty students to SEP. Enrolment will be through a Google Forms and should be done before July 30th 2019. Link to access Google Forms is available with concerned joint/ district coordinators. Each school should make a committee of SEP including School Principal/Headmaster, PTA President, student representative and SEP School Coordinator (designated teacher) as the convener. Each HS and UP school should conduct the following competitions and nominate the winners for educational district level. Competition Category Mode Quiz competition UP, HS Mandatory Cartoon UP, HS Mandatory Essay writing UP, HS Mandatory Project Presentation UP, HS Voluntary Water colouring LP Voluntary Each member school should conduct a lecture on Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency through respective SEP - coordinator. If required, resource support for conducting Energy 6 Conservation lectures in schools can be obtained through the Joint Coordinators. For Project presentation, collect abstract from each UP & HS schools and select best 10 teams from each ED for education district level competition. The first and second prize winners will be selected for district level competition. There will not be any state level competition for Project presentation. LP schools should conduct a water colouring competition only. The list of member students in the SEP of the school should be submitted to EMC using the Google form provided by EMC. The list should contain details such as Name, Standard & Division. EMC will issue e-certificate for all the member students of SEP. 7 Educational district level A committee must be formed in each education district for the well functioning of the programme. The committee members should include DEO, AEO under ED, selected Headmaster/ Headmistress’s, DC with JC of SEP as convener of the committee. The joint coordinators in consultation with the DEO, AEO’s and district coordinator should organize a campaign on SEP in each educational district in order to discuss the “Energy Conservation Awareness Programme” (Sensitization camp) and its effective implementation before July 30th. Each educational district should conduct the mandatory competitions and the program will be titled as “Oorjolsavam”. Competitions should be conducted for HS/UP and LP level separately. For energy quiz competition and project presentation, only one group (consisting of 2 students) from each school shall be permitted. For all other competitions only 1 student from each school is permitted. Revenue District Level Under each revenue district, the judging panel may preferably be same for all educational districts. District coordinators should select the 1st, 2nd & 3rd prize winners from the respective educational district for the revenue district level competitions. An officer designated by EMC will attend the programme as observer. 1st prize winners from each Revenue district only can participate in the Kerala State Students’ Energy Congress (KSSEC) which will be conducted tentatively in the last week of January 2020 at EMC. State Level- Kerala State Students Energy Congress (KSSEC) - 2020 In order to evaluate the State level activities of SEP, state level monitoring committee will be formed which consists of a nominee from DPI, two nominees from EMC, and three DC’s. A member from EMC will be the convener of the committee. In the month of January 2020, EMC will conduct a state level program titled “Kerala State Students’ Energy Congress” (KSSEC). This will be a one day programme consisting of talk on any topic related to energy which is of current relevance such as the importance of energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy integration and sustainable energy by experts and eminent personalities along with the conduct of state level finals of different mandatory competitions comprising of winners from each Revenue district. TA for the participating team will be provided (II Class sleeper train fare/ Super Fast bus fare on production of original tickets). 8 NECM- National Energy Conservation Month activities On December 14th – National Energy Conservation Day (NECD), all districts shall conduct a district level general awareness program for public. It can be any of the following or some mode of awareness campaign. 1. Awareness campaigns 2. Rally 3. Plays like skits and mime 4. Exhibitions The programme should be conducted in the month of December in presence of elected representatives of the government/local body such as MLA/District Panchayath President/Mayor etc. In addition to December 14, if the district committees decide to conduct an exhibition for the public and students with the help of KSEB, ANERT, Engineering colleges and other technical institutions, EMC will consider providing support. For the conduct of this programme each district coordinator is eligible for a maximum amount of Rs. 10000/-. It should be ensured that, the majority participation should be public and not students. FUNDING PATTERN Travelling Allowance should be distributed for participants at the respective venues (Fast Passenger bus ticket charges limited to a maximum of Rs 100/-). The advance amount will be sanctioned to concerned JC’s
